Colts' 2018 training camp preview: K.J. Brent, Tyreek Burwell

The Indianapolis Colts will have several players vying for roster spots when training camp gets underway after the team reports back from summer break on July 25.

While some players have a spot on lock, there are more players that will be competing just to open some eyes and find a spot on the roster. In a crowded wide receiver room, K.J. Brent is among those simply looking to compete for a roster spot.

Brent initially signed with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent following the 2016 NFL Draft. He wouldn’t see any time on the field during the regular season with the team and was waived ahead of the 2017 regular season.

Brent would eventually sign with the Seattle Seahawks during the early part of the 2017 season but was released just days later. The Colts picked him up in October and was promoted to the active roster with just a few weeks left in the regular season.

Brent would play in five games but failed to record any stats during the 2017 season with the Colts.

Bottom line: With such a large number of players vying for so many limited spots, Brent faces an uphill battle to make the roster but seeing as he played in a few games in 2017, he could be a practice squad candidate.
